Default Cattleya hybrid in flower

I bought this NoID back in december 2008, when it had a flower, and then no flower since that.
Back then I didn't know much about orchids, so it got a bad sunburn. After that it has been neglected for long periods, when I have been away for work, and not getting enough water and food.
Since early december last year I have given it extra attention, and five days ago I discoveded a huge bud, and I knew the poor thing had forgiven me.
Yesterday the flower started to open, and this morning the 17.5 cm. wide flower is fully open.

Thank you all.
As an extra bonus it has a nice scent too. Strongest in the afternoon. It's like a sweet perfume with a twist of caramel.

This one just keeps flowering.
Now with two flowers from the same psedobulb, and there is another bud growing from another pseudobulb.
